The core mechanic is already implemented: Magic secateurs (item 7409) grant the +10% herb-harvest yield boost via boost_cts/3 in game/skills/farming.ex:746, keyed on the item being in the backpack.

Note on semantics: the inventory-based check is era-correct — in the 2007 (build 468) era magic secateurs were a non-wieldable inventory item and the boost applied while carried. Do NOT 'fix' this to a weapon-slot/wield check; that behaviour is post-era.

Remaining gaps:

Obtain path — magic secateurs are the Fairytale I: Growing Pains reward (quest is in-era, released 2005). There is no in-game way to get them until the quest system lands. Depends on #11 (quest framework) / the Fairytale I quest itself. Until then they're admin-spawn only.
Secondary uses — magic secateurs can slash spider webs (weaker cut than a knife/blade). Minor; wire into the web-cutting handler if/when that exists.

Cache-verify item 7409 name/options against the 468 cache before any further work.
